“2/1/2019 I was driving up interstate i16 at about 1pm. When my truck started stalling. I immediately pulled over to the emergency lane. I then noticed smoke coming out from under the engine bay. A couple of other drivers stopped to try to render assistance with small fire extinguishers; to no avail. The vehicle soon became fully engulfed in flames. By the time the fire department arrived, it was a total loss. The only thing that was out of the ordinary was I ran over a plastic bag blowing across the interstate, like a walmart bag. …”
